When subscription orders fail due to credit card processing errors, subscribers can now manually retry their orders immediately after updating their payment information. 

This update empowers customers to resolve payment issues without contacting support, reducing friction and recovering revenue that would otherwise be lost due to involuntary churn.

Here's what's new:

• Subscribers can now see failed orders with upcoming retries directly in the Subscription Manager.
• While the order is in retry, they can update their payment method directly – saving time for both your team and the customer, with no need to contact support.
• After updating, customers will see a “Retry Now” button that lets them immediately retry the failed payment – replacing the usual “Send Now” option. If they don’t manually retry, the system will keep retrying the payment automatically based on your configured settings to maximize revenue recovery.

What this means for you:

• Recover more failed orders and recurring revenue.
• Improve the customer order retry experience.
• Reduce support tickets due to customer confusion.

Get Started Now: 

This feature is now live in the latest version of Subscription Manager (25.11.0). Customers with failed payment orders will automatically see them in their Order Processing section and can take immediate action to resolve payment issues. 

For questions around this new payment retry visibility or upgrading to the most recent Subscription Manager version, please contact our support team at help@ordergroove.com.

We’ve upgraded Cancel Flows to do more than just offboard customers – now you can offer personalized alternatives like skips, swaps, and retention discounts to reduce churn. Early adopters are seeing an average of 20% of churning subscribers saved, and upcoming analytics will give you full visibility into how customers move through the flow – so you can optimize every step and maximize retention.

Here’s what’s new:

• Retention discounts: Customizable discount offers that let you set specific dollar amounts or percentage off to turn potential cancellations into loyalty opportunities.
• Built-in gamification prevention: Prevent discount abuse with smart safeguards that set exclusion rules based on recent orders or days since last retention offer.
• OOTB editor: No-code flow builder with customization options to fit your brand's growth strategy and messaging.

• Stay compliant with local and federal regulations while maintaining effective retention strategies.
• Set up in minutes with no-code defaults or go fully custom with enterprise-grade APIs.

Our out-of-the-box flows are designed to align with federal and California state compliance standards. However, regulations can change and every business is different, so we recommend consulting your legal team before making any production updates.

How to get started:

All customers on the latest version of our Subscription Manager are eligible for enhanced Cancel Flows. Please reach out to our support team to set up your retention discount and gamification prevention. For questions about the alpha or upcoming analytics capabilities, please reach out to your CSM.

Lifetime Metrics are now available in Open Beta - giving you deeper visibility into subscription performance and value over time. 

By tracking both Lifetime Revenue (LTR) and Lifetime Value (LTV), you can understand not just how much recurring revenue your business generates, but how much profit that revenue actually delivers. This makes it easier to assess and optimize for sustainable, profitable growth.

Here’s what’s new:

• Personalize how you measure LTR and LTV: Input your brand’s Cost of Goods Sold (COGS) for a full view into profitability and monitor how your LTV and LTR evolves over time.
• Compare active vs. churned subscribers: View LTR and LTV breakdowns by subscriber status to identify engagement trends and retention opportunities.
• Segment subscribers by lifetime spend: Group customers into Lifetime Revenue tiers and understand how long each segment typically stays active - helping you identify your highest-value segments and tailor retention strategies accordingly.

What this means for you:

• Measure subscription program profitability
• Identify your most profitable customer segments
• Focus strategy on real growth over vanity metrics

Note: To give you a clearer view of subscriber performance, we’ve fine-tuned how we calculate LTV and LTR across our platform to include both initial and recurring orders. LTR and LTV values may change in other areas of Analytics as a result.

Get Started Now

Lifetime Metrics is now in Open Beta and available to all Ordergroove customers. Have questions, or need help inputting your COGS? Reach out to your Ordergroove CSM or submit a ticket to our Support Team here.

Boost recovery rates, avoid retry penalties, and cut out the noise in your recovery analytics with smarter payment retries. 

Here’s what’s new:

With newly released advanced rejection data from Shopify, we can more accurately determine when to retry—focusing only on orders with a real chance of success. This means cleaner analytics, fewer unnecessary retries, and improved long-term recovery outcomes.

What this means for you:

• You may notice a short-term dip in recovery rates as we filter out unrecoverable hard declines from your retry queue. Over time, your recovery rates will improve.
• Total recovered dollars won’t significantly change, as orders failing due to hard declines were and still are unrecoverable without customer action.
• This reduces the risk of retry penalties from card issuers and payment gateways by avoiding unnecessary attempts on known hard declines—helping protect your reputation and ensure long-term payment health.

When to expect this upgrade:

Smarter payment retries will start rolling out on May 12, with full deployment for all merchants expected by May 27. For more details or questions, reach out to your Customer Success Manager or submit a ticket to our support team here.
